Missionary Map Project | Paul's Second Missionary Journey

The apostle Paul went on three missionary journeys, followed by a trip to Rome. His second missionary journey began with Barnabas as they returned to Syrian, Antioch and reported the great number of Gentiles in modern-day Turkey who had believed. They traveled through Derbe, Lystra, Iconium, and Pisidian Antioch again on their way to Troas.

The missionary voyages of the apostle Paul from Jerusalem to Rome. This map also shows much of the Roman Empire in the time of Paul and his journeys.

After returning to Antioch, Paul decided to take another mission trip and revisit Lystra and all of the other places he had visited before. He and Barnabas disagreed over who they should take with them so they each took different people and went to different places. A young man named Timothy joined Paul along the way. While they were travelling, the Holy Spirit led them and told them where to go. One night Paul had a vision of a man from the region of Macedonia standing and begging him to come to Macedonia and help him. Paul immediately went in that direction to teach the gospel there.

You will use the VPC (Veritas Press Bible Cards): Acts-Revelation Series, SKU:000650, Marlin and Laurie Detweiler (Veritas Press Website). These cards are not necessary to teach this Missionary Map Project, they are supplemental; but a great addition to your homeschool library and to this Paul’s Missionary Journey Unit Study. In addition, you will need a large cardboard poster board to draw your map to work on for the next four weeks.

Way to Introduce the Story:

Missionary Map Project | Paul's Second Missionary Journey

Have a globe or atlas or world map to use in class today. Let’s pretend we are going to travel to a far away country today to teach people about Jesus. (Let one of the children choose a country and find it on the globe or in the atlas.) What language would we have to know if we went there? What kind of clothes would we need to bring? What would we need to do before we left? In today’s story we are going to learn about another trip that Paul took to teach people about Jesus.
